There are loved ones in the glory,
Whose dear forms you often miss;
When you close your earthly story,
Will you join them in their bliss?
 [bad word] 
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
Is a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?

In the joyous days of childhood,
Oft they told of wondrous love,
Pointed to the dying Saviour;
Now they dwell with Him above.
 [bad word] 

You remember songs of heaven
Which you sang with childish voice,
Do you love the hymns they taught you,
Or are songs of earth your choice?
 [bad word] 

You can picture happy gath'rings
'Round the fireside long ago,
And you think of tearful partings,
When they left you here below.
 [bad word] 

One by one their seats were emptied,
One by one they went away;
Now the family is parted,
Will it [bad word] one day?
